Reaching out in Kaikoura

New Zealand Red Cross

Red Cross team members have been working in Kaikoura to link households with services and essential supplies. They're also on hand to provide wellbeing support for those who are struggling with the quake's impact or for people who have just been told they can't stay in their homes.

"There's so much food and stuff gone, but we're alive - that's the main thing," says Kaikoura resident Diane Edkins (pictured) who finds out whether her house is given the all-clear while a Red Cross volunteer is with her: www.redcross.org.nz...

Please donate to Red Cross' November 2016 Earthquake Appeal at www.redcross.org.nz... Thank you for your support.

Desperately seeking bottle fed calf as friend for ours.

Linda from Moonshine Valley

Hi, we have 1 very lonely calf which was abandoned by its mum. We are looking for a companion calf, still being bottle fed so our wee one isn't alone. This is urgent. Thank you.
